What a dreary world it would be if we all had winter at the same time! Except for the Indian meal moths that come with my bird feed (and they don't count), I haven't seen a moth for two weeks. It's too cold, too wet. It's not going to get any better until spring. Moth season is over for BC. And this is the final "The Moth and Me" of the year.

This will be the last "The Moth and Me" for 2009. The next one, March, 2010, will be hosted by Jason, at Xenogere. Send your submissions to jason AT xenogere DOT com by March 13th. And we're looking for hosts starting April, 2010; drop Seabrooke a note if you are interested.

(Photos taken in August, at Campbell River, Vancouver Island. Thanks, Seabrooke, for the IDs.)

I should add that the March edition does in fact have a host, but I still need to update the info on the webpage (which I'll do this afternoon). Posts for the March edition can be sent in by March 13 to Jason at Xenogere, jason at xenogere d0t com

Great collection of Blogs, i'm finding the American ones just as interesting and informative as my 'local' favourites.Keep up the great work and thankyou for the mention! I shall be adding some more Moths to my revolving Blogger header.

Hi Susanna. Thanks for the link and the comment. You're right (sadly) about the unoriginal title, but being a predominantly birding blog I didn't want to be so obscure (I'd toyed with 'A Merveillous Night') that no-one would have a clue what I was talking about!I'll try harder next spring...Charlie

Hey there - glad you liked the post on my blog. You are right that mothing has just about stopped for the year over here in the UK. Still a few species flying but as soon as we get a couple of frosts that will be it apart from a handful of species that are only active in the winter (like the aptly named December Moth and Winter Moth). Otherwise it's pretty quiet from now until February unless there is an unseasonally mild spell which lures out a few species that hibernate as adults. Here's to the spring!I'll be sure to come back here and browse your posts.Cheers,Mark

Thank you for mentioning my blog - what a nice surprise to find your comment this morning. I am enjoying the great variety of moths that I am discovering via all the posts you have collected here - it's such an amazing (and small) world isn't it!
